Can a notary public notarize a deed from a different state?

Yes, a notary public can notarize a deed from a different state, provided that the notary is commissioned in the state where the notarization is taking place. However, it is important to ensure that the deed complies with the laws of the state where it will be recorded, as different states may have specific requirements for notarization. Additionally, the signer must appear in person before the notary during the notarization process.
